The Electrochemistry Podcast
Dr. Alex Peroff and Dr. Neil Spinner host the electrochemistry podcast where we discuss all things electrochemistry. We discuss troubleshooting electrochemistry problems in a light hearted and fun way. We also have interviews with other electrochemists and play electrochemistry based games such as madlibs, 2 truths and a lie, and password (all electrochemistry themed).
Episodes
Episode 12: Season Finale! It's been a fun ride doing the electrochemistry podcast. We finish off this first season of the podcast off with a bit of a rant between Neil and Alex about all the topics we've struggled with in electrochemistry. Hopefully, you will enjoy and relate to this little venting session between Neil and Alex.
Episode 11: The path from undergrad to full professor is non-linear with Bill Mustain - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil have a special guest, Professor. Willaim (Bill) Mustain. Bill talks about how he got into electrochemical engineering and how his path from undergraduate to full professor was filled with twists and turns. Overall he has encouraging advice to undergraduates who might feel lost and d...
Episode 10: The Ambitious Undergrad Andre - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil look at a strange working electrode issue from Andre, who is an undergrad doing research in electrochemistry. As an undergraduate, Andre was working under the guidance of a 3rd year graduate student Martin, who's is tasked with off loading as much work to Andre as he could. Andre being the bright-eyed and excited undergrad w...
Episode 9: Semiconductor electrochemistry with Dr. Alex Bredar - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil have a special guest, Dr. Alex Bredar. Alex Bredar talks with us about her experience about learning electrochemistry, choosing a graduate adviser, and how semiconductor electrochemistry works. We'll finish up the episode with a game of EChem Abstract Madlibs!

Episode 8: Jackson's Hard Time Circuit Fitting - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil discuss post-doc Jackson who is developing new materials for electrochemical sensors. Jackson uses DC techniques and AC techniques to characterize his materials. He got some very good experimental results, but when he started doing EIS circuit fitting he found that the circuit fit wasn't working. No matter how much he ...
Episode 7: Regina's Potentiostat Problem - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil discuss post-doc Regina who has actually been doing electrochemistry for a while. She did her Ph.D. in electrochemistry and her new PI was excited for her to join as a post-doc to help teach electrochemistry to the group. However, one day a grad student presented Regina with a potentiostat problem she couldn't figure out. Th...
Episode 6: Jing's Glovebox Noise - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil discuss grad student Jing who is a 2nd year graduate student preparing for her qualifying exam which is in 3 weeks. She is doing inorganic synthesis of a cobalt complex in a glovebox. Jing has some good results, but needs some cyclic voltammetry data. However, when she tried to perform CV experiments in the glovebox she was getting ...
Episode 5: Connor's Unusual Electrode Contamination - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil discuss grad student Connor who has spent a lot of time developing procedures for synthesizing and testing the electrocatalytic activity of his catalyst, and shared his techniques with a collaborator. However, there seems to be a large discrepancy between the electrocatalytic results from his lab and the collaborato...
Episode 4: Starting an Electrochemistry Company with Dr. Ziad Bitar - In this episode, Alex and Neil interview the founder and owner of EquiLabrium, Dr. Ziad Bitar. We learn about how Ziad originally got into electrochemistry and what it's like getting a Ph.D. in electrochemistry in France. We then discuss his experience working in industry and how he built an electrochemistry company from the ground up. The interview is educati...
Episode 3: Marco and the Old Lab Notebook - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil discuss grad student Marco who is great at organic and inorganic synthesis, but now needs to do some cyclic voltammetry experiment to test the electrocatalytic activity. Marco is new to electrochemistry and it's not in his usual wheel house of chemical techniques. Marco found an old lab notebook that included notes on how to...
Episode 2: Priyanka's bad EIS data - In this episode of The Electrochemistry Podcast, Alex and Neil discuss grad student Priyanka's bad day in the lab trying to get EIS data, and get to the bottom of what mistakes she made. They also cover pizza toppings, shellfish dinners, and late 1990s blockbuster movies for some reason. Finally, they finish with a game of EChem Abstract MadLibs.
